challenge

you challenge me in new ways that i once knew, to return to...
you challenge me through all the people you love...
to live and experience life in ways i've never known before...
how beautiful~
iron sharpening iron...
the beauty of that which is not like myself...
the beauty of your image in others, shining so beautifully.
to live at a slower pace
to look at the flowers on the wayside
to smell the freshness in the air
to listen
to enjoy
to love, as an act, a giving...a choice~
caught up in Your beauty~
freeing the heart, the mind, the body and soul!!!! to live, to love...with or without...
though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vine,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
yet i will rejoice in the Lord,
i will be joyful in God my Savior.
The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
He enables me to tread on the heights. <3
